I'm a fashion and music fan....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together. One of my favorite dancing quotes at the moment: "No matter what, nobody can take away the dance you've already had...." ~Gleb Savchenko .

In a video interview at People.com, Gilles Marini talks of how things will be different this time when he dances on Dancing With The Stars. He also talks of wanting to go to the end to make people smile including his daughter. Below is a take, but, be sure to watch the video People.com.

“This time, I’m going to try to be more flexible, and probably more energetic and less scared of what’s going to happen next,” he says. “Do I need to get better than the first time over? I probably will try my best, just because it’s my nature. I want to work everything I have in my body.”

But at the end of the day, his fight to the finish is for than just personal satisfaction.

“I want to go to the end for the smile of my daughter [Juliana] having a blast, knowing her father is doing something she can finally watch,” Marini explains. “I just want to make people smile … It’s not about me. It’s about the 20 million people who would watch. I’m going to go through what I’m going to go through, but I’m going to do the best that I can.”

Mark Ballas has penned his first blog for Dancing With The Stars Season 15 at USA Today! He talks of how intense the competition is going to be and preparing Bristol for the show. He also dishes on what will be different with her this time including “sexier moves and costumes”. Three more days and counting, All! 🙂

Being partnered with Bristol again has been fun. It’s like we never missed a day and, like most good friendships, we picked right up where we left off. We spent most of our training time in Arizona and have been rehearsing this past week in L.A. around the rest of the cast. I thought it was important that we get adjusted and ready for competition, and being in the same environment with the other couples has definitely helped us prepare.

What I think will be different this time around with Bristol is that she’s coming out of her shell a lot more. She’s also been more welcoming to sexy moves and costumes. I’m really hoping people can see how far she’s come with letting her personality out and digging into the dances rather than tiptoeing around them. We have for sure been working really hard on rhythm, timing and attitude.

Our first dance is cha cha, and it’s going really well. We have had three weeks to get BP moving and comfortable, especially back in her dance heels, and I know it will translate come Monday night.

Also during Tuesday night’s show, we will have a spectacular opening number featuring all the pro dancers of the season and The Troupe to a medley of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody/Dance Again,” choreographed by Jason Gilkison. The Troupe will return later that night to perform a number to “Go Get It ” which is also choreographed by Jason Gilkison. And before night’s end, the season’s first couple will be eliminated from the show.

Make way! Above is Derek’s new adopted baby Romeo crashing rehearsals for Dancing With The Stars. I just love this dog. I hope the show will do a special feature on him as it’s a great message about rescueing animals. What a star! I just love him.

Also, after you watch the video, be sure to visit Miss Heidi’s as she has tons on Derek and Shawn currently….new rehearsal videos (extended versions as well that she has recorded herself), new photos, and lots more. HOTNESS! 😀

Karina Smirnoff and Apolo Ohno were on Good Morning America today. You can watch them talk all things Dancing With The Stars All Stars HERE (due to a script issue, I took the video below out).

Stay tuned to this spot! The two are also going to be on The Wendy Williams Show today. We’ll post that coverage as soon as it’s made available.

ADDING:TV Guide has just released a scouting report by Karina and Apolo on their co-stars. This is fun. Below is a little take….

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas
Probably the most controversial cast member, Palin finished third on Season 11 with Ballas.
Ohno says: She’s totally different now. I think it’ll surprise people.
Smirnoff says: No matter what people say — like maybe Bristol wasn’t the best dancer, but she was the most improved dancer of that season. So on this show, there’s the likability factor, the skill, but also the journey. Who has the biggest journey, the biggest arc of learning how to dance? I think Bristol had it. I’m excited to see what she does now. She had some memorable dances — the monkey dance. Some people can pull that off.

Drew Lachey and Anna Trebunskaya
The 98 Degrees singer won Season 2 with Burke, and Trebunskaya has been runner-up twice, including to Lachey.
Ohno says: Drew’s gonna do well. He’s hungry, I can tell, and I love it. I love the competitiveness. I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s got. He didn’t do as much [dancing in 98 Degrees], but he’s won this.
Smirnoff says: Anna’s a fantastic teacher, so Drew’s in great hands. Drew had one of the most memorable freestyles on the show. If we take Drew out before the final in the back alley of CBS [Studios, where the show films], that might help us.

Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough
Johnson won Season 8 with Ballas, and Hough is a three-time champ.
Ohno says: The only other people who have experienced this intense type of competition with this kind of training are Shawn and Emmitt. … I love Shawn. She dances incredibly. She’s kind of like Joey. She learns dances really fast.
Smirnoff says: She does. Why don’t you learn them really fast?
Ohno says: I don’t know. I’m just pounding the fish.
